    +1!

    All recommendable equipment is out of reach:

    - wedges from level 39 (the short ATVs),

    - putter from 500 cr up,

    - irons and woods from level 30 (R1).

    Tip 1 to save credits: Play with faster, thus cheaper balls, Tour SD or just B-ES.

    Tip 2 - priceless: Exchange the EZ Swing SW wedge with the Beginner SW which should be in your inventory.

    Hint: If you want to advance in tiers, you should play ranked strokeplay.

    The truth is that nothing can replace time and experience!!!  Play lots and lots of stroke play rounds and then play some more!!!  Save those credits up until you achieve a much higher tier.  Be patient and know, that this is a game that must be learned in stages and like many things, the end is not always the result of an overactive rush to reach beyond ones limits!  Take your time, relax and enjoy the ride and in the end you will get their and enjoy the game a whole lot more!!!

    If you have limited money available don´t pay for balls,. With good clubs even the free balls work reasonably well. At least if you are used to them. And even the best available balls provide only a marginal improvement with beginner clubs.

    Until I became tour master I almost always used the free balls. If you want a slower meter the gi2-s and gi2-d balls are a good choice.

    Don´t buy any new clubs until you reach level 35 to 50. You will reach that level quickly if you take advantage of the 880 points daily bonus if you complete at least one game a day for more than 5 days. A one random hole practice game or a a ctth tournament is enough and takes almost no time.

    Your next Driver could be the WGT Pro if it has to be cheap or one of the nicer more expensive ones. Or wait for the level 49  to buy the R1  driver. This is the first driver available you will not want to replace a short time after you bought it. 

    Hybrids are not needed. Almost all shots you would play with a hybrid can be done reasonably well with either your Iron 3 or your wood 3. Almost all better WGT players use a 3rd wedge and no hybrid.

    For irons and wedges you need a spin rating of 3 or more to get good performing equipment. Using them gets you a totally different experience than the beginner equipment. Iron shots clear obstacles and stop short after landing. Full power wedge shots will stay where they land or even roll backwards from there if you use much backspin. The Taylormade Ping and Max wedges available from level 38 to 51 are all good choices.

    I forgot to mention that you really want high loft with irons and wedges because they fly further and roll less.

    The putter is very important. But the beginner putter works quite well. This is the only beginner equipment that I occasionally see in the hands of a legend tier player I meet in a game. And he even puts better with it than I do with my level 51 Nike Method. Knowing your putter and lots of experience in reading the greens and getting the timing right is much more important than the quality ratings of your putter.

    The first put needs to have exactly the right length. This is one or two feet behind the hole. From there the second put will be easy and has an excellent chance to go into the hole even if your direction is off in your approach put.
